The End of the Age - Time and Evolution Pt. 1

by Robert Wilkinson

We have been living on the cutting edge of human evolution for about 7 years. While many have forgotten the event, in fact the December Solstice of 2012 and the end of that version of the Mayan Calendar marked a radical leap in our ability to know more than we used to, and we’ve all been learning how to navigate these new waters since then.

I last gave this to you 3 years ago, and have updated the material, chopping much and adding more. We stand on the threshold of a new Era already in motion, and our world is about to take a series of quantum leaps in our global understanding of the Oneness of Life.

A great Age is a little over 2100 years. That means each degree of a Great Age is about 70 years. Given the overlap in the larger cycles of planetary and human evolution, there are time periods where the end of the old Age coexists with the beginning of the new Age.

That’s exactly where we’re at now. This time period is a bridge zone where the end of our current Age overlaps with the beginning of the New Age already “pre-forming.” Given the transitions coming with the Grand Mutation in 2020, our task is to learn how to adapt and find skills we’ll need as new developments present themselves.

Rudhyar once proposed that each century has 4 seasons of 25 years each, and gave the Autumn of each century to the last quarter, where the seeds are formed for what will sprout in the Spring of the new century. Since 2000, we’ve been in the Winter of the 21st century. Late 2012 and early 2013 marked the mid-point of the “Winter of the 21st Century,” and at the time I elaborated on the importance of that period of time. Since then we’ve been leaving the harshest period of this century’s “season” and now stand on the threshold of the new “Spring of the 21st Century” coming soon!

Why Were 2012 and 2013 So Important?

That period associated with the midpoint of the Winter of this century was extraordinarily important since all of humanity stepped through a perceptual door at the December 2012 Solstice, and since then we’ve had opportunities to develop an enhanced way of “knowing.” For centuries we’ve relied mainly on our thinking and logic centers to “know” whatever we’ve been trying to understand. In late 2012, we all moved through a portal, and now have enhanced ways of knowing through our feelings as well as our minds. This is a huge evolutionary leap!

This leap allowed us a more rounded whole frame of reference, though it has also required navigational skills and the ability to separate out when what we feel we know isn’t the whole picture. Remember we are all part of One Life, and therefore as we cultivate our ability to feel, we will begin to feel all the different emotions existing on the collective Astral plane. That can help us to a greater compassion and sense of non-separateness, but because of the nature of our emotional body, we must be aware of the problems in the collective unconscious so we don’t fall into the soup.

We are told there are three collective traps which can lead our mind into confusion rather than clarity. These are glamor, illusion, and Maya, and we all have to learn to spot them, and deal with them appropriately. They are present everywhere, and teach us not to fall in with others’ speculations which may not be grounded in any sort of truth.

There’s a lot of glamor, illusion, and Maya about what this transitional period “means,” and what is to come. Remembering that many things which evolve don’t look like anything in the past is a good reference, since despite the appearance of what seems to be, and what it seems will be, there’s another larger evolutionary reality happening beyond our perceptual interpretations conditioned by our limitations.

So let's take a brief look at the nature of time, perception, and how our minds work. By understanding this interactive dynamic, we can keep some things in mind as we move through experience and adapt to what is, and what's coming.

Time, Faith, and Knowledge

Time is a funny thing. It is a one-way street, and is the means by which we measure movement in perceptual experience through the 3 denser dimensions. Time is also infinitely fluid, and as such has no beginning or end.

An odometer is a good metaphor for how we have come to measure space and time as functions of each other's movement. Rolling ever forward, every end is followed naturally by a new beginning showing the next phase of an unending process. If the dimension of time is never-ending, then though calendars end, consciousness is forever.

Because people barely understand the principles governing the interrelationship between the material, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels of the 3 dimensions of human existence, in trying to find meaning in their life experience they often invent ideas to explain what’s happening and why. These ideas may be partly right or mostly wrong, but they are attempts to find metaphors to classify what hasn't been confirmed within conventional means.

That’s why it’s important to see if what’s offered is somehow disconnected, or weaves together highly speculative assertions which require us to accept a lot on faith. The human imagination does wonderful things to cover up holes in its incomplete understanding, and seeks agreement from others, even for an unrealistic fantasy.

While faith certain has its place in our reality, so does serious study where learning rigors are needed. These two energies are part of our lives, and while both devotion and knowledge are good, each is a different energy which we learn to apply in specific situations, and they’re not interchangeable. It's somewhat like trying to use cooked spaghetti to hammer a nail. Both are perfectly fine in their respective realms, but ultimately have different purposes, methods, and outcomes.

Prophesies and Assumptions

In late 2012, I wrote about the many different sites offering dramatic and sometimes very glamorous speculations about the current and coming transitions, tying them in some way to the Mayan calendar, the Great Pyramid timeline, the prophesies of Nostradamus or the Book of Revelations. At the time I offered that most of these prophesies required us to assume quite a few things, some plausible, some wildly implausible. Much of it seemed like a game of "Telephone," where each successive retelling becomes more and more elaborate, usually for the purpose of convincing people to suspend reason and join, surrender, or repent something.

All interpretations of prophesies make assumptions. We all make assumptions. That includes you and me, as well as the Mayan, Nostradamus, and Pyramid timeline scholars.

Along with individuals making assumptions, groups also make assumptions, and usually encourage everyone associated with that group to accept those assumptions. People and groups in every field, whether in the arts, sciences, philosophies and religions, make assumptions. We can extend this to all societies and cultures, since humanity has been trying to classify reality and experience since its infancy 3 million years ago.

Even when certain assumptions are "proved true," they are usually within local conditions and may not be an absolute. For example, we assume gravity to affect everything that has mass and density. However, countless Eastern Yogis have demonstrated that sometimes gravity does not affect the human body when certain levels of consciousness are achieved through practices involving spaciousness and luminosity.

In terms of the larger "paradigm shift," right now, due to a lack of true scholarship in the field of metaphysics and the Ageless Wisdom accumulated through many civilizations over millennia, collectively humanity resembles the proverbial 7 blind men trying to describe the elephant. So many see the parts and assume them to be the whole, or that somehow the trunk is "more important" than the leg. Many are under the delusion that forms have permanence and that getting attached to those forms is sustainable.

The Broader Sweep of Evolution

There is an accumulation of wisdom of the ages available to all who quest for source knowledge. Those who find elements of that core knowledge can see how it’s key to all the other derived, more recent local forms of that knowledge which came from the source material. Many things about the current transitional Era between the Great Ages has been given to us in that source material, but it’s hard to find given the massive amount of speculation from newer “experts” on the subject, most of whom never studied the larger sweep of evolution.

That’s why it’s important to study the core material to get a sense of the accuracy of authors commenting about our transitional era and what the new Age will look like. How can an author who doesn’t have an understanding of larger and smaller Eras preceding this one have the context or sense of the continuity of what each successive Age represents in terms of the spiritual evolution of humanity?

One must study to know, know to understand, and understand to judge. Critical thinking skills are essential if we are to transcend superstitions and half-truths based in limitations of perception. Replacing obsolete “belief versus doubt” dualities with a well-rounded understanding and a synthesized overview will become the hallmark of the emerging Age. We are collectively developing an entirely new understanding of time, space, energy, matter, electricity, magnetism, and how Light expresses in infinite forms.

Each successive Era of an ever-greater understanding of human reality serves the evolution of the human race across larger sweeps of time. Each successive sub-race within the larger Root Race contributes to a new understanding of "God," which serves the needs of that space-time continuum. This requires new metaphors, new approaches, new ways of regarding what IS, since we cannot put new wine in old wineskins lest they split.

However, it is equally true that evolution is a continuity of experience and usually builds upon itself, with occasional mutations. That’s why it’s important to be aware when new material attempts to negate established spiritual principles of accumulated human wisdom. Legitimate newer forms of understanding never negate the sum total of the accumulated Truth, Love, Wisdom, and Intelligence of the larger evolutionary trajectory.

All new forms of understanding appropriate to the new era will add to the total understanding of All-That-Is, and all Aquarian approaches offer hope for the inherent freedom of the Soul to come forth. Evolution is inherently inclusive and liberating.

In part 2 we'll continue exploring the nature of the Soul, false dualities that lead us into confusion, the problem of fear-based thinking, New Age cheerleading, Root Races and sub-races, and what we've been told by oracles past about 2012 and the nature of the coming Aquarian Age.

Old worlds die and new be born

Thank you Robert for your broad perspective, focus on cycles. I work very diligently and am weary of speculation concerning the future. You present methods of feeling our way forward, validation of current efforts. In one sense, you help to keep it simple in the complexity which is what is needed on a journey in which we are feeling our way into the new while letting go and increasing detachment.
